Features
What sets it apart
- Full-width loading ramp
- Flat bed with machine tie-down points
- Twin axle
- Runs as our own delivery trailer, so it is maintained in fleet
Where it works
Best-fit jobs and sites
- Collecting a compact scissor lift yourself; moving a machine between sites on the same job; short local plant movements where a float is not warranted.
Good to confirm: Approved customer pickup only — we check the tow vehicle, licence class and towing capacity first. Load restraint is the tower responsibility. Machine and trailer combined weight must be inside the vehicle rating. An online listing cannot replace a site assessment, so tell us the job and we will confirm suitability.

Delivery, access and running
What we need from you, and what we take care of.
Swipe
Delivery
Quoted by suburb, site access and transport requirements, the machine and the delivery are quoted together for your dates.
Tow vehicle and licence
Tell us the vehicle you will tow with and its braked towing capacity. We check the vehicle, the coupling and the loaded combination mass against your licence before the trailer leaves the yard.
Licence and competency
No high-risk work licence applies to a trailer. The tower needs the correct driver licence class for the combined mass, a compliant tow vehicle and rated load restraint. Equip Hire confirms all three before approving a customer pickup.
Hire period
Hire runs from delivery or pickup until off-hire is confirmed. Rates are quoted for your dates, suburb and machine together, see our hire terms for responsibilities during the hire.
Not sure it will fit?
Send your suburb, your dates and the tightest access width. We will confirm the machine and quote the delivery with it.
Towing safely
Checks before you tow
A plant trailer is checked as a towed load, not as a machine. Our staff restrain the load at the yard; these are the checks that keep it safe on the road.

0/3Found a fault?
Tag it out and call us on 0472 721 234. Never tow a trailer with a known fault, we will repair or swap it.
What counts as the record
Ticking here is a memory aid on your phone, nothing is stored. The trailer’s compliance plate and your own check are the record. Based on the manufacturer’s daily check requirements and SafeWork NSW guidance for this kind of equipment.
Before you tow
Before you collect
The four things to sort before you arrive at the depot.
Swipe
1
Check the tow vehicle
Braked towing capacity, tow ball rating and the plated GCM must cover the loaded trailer. Bring the numbers, we check them before the trailer leaves the yard.
2
Check the licence
A car licence covers most 3.5 t plant trailers, but the combination mass and your licence conditions decide it. Say so if you are unsure.
3
Plan where it unloads
A firm, level spot with room to drop the ramps and drive the machine off straight. Not a slope, not a soft verge.
4
Plan the route
Height limits, tight turns and steep driveways on the way. A loaded plant trailer does not reverse like a box trailer.
Avoid
Towing mistakes we see
What most often stops a pickup at the gate or causes trouble on the road.
Swipe
Guessing the tow rating
A vehicle that tows a caravan is not necessarily rated for a 3.5 t plant trailer. Read the plate, not the brochure.
Loading on the tail
Weight behind the axles lifts the tow ball and the trailer will sway. The machine sits centred, load forward of the axles.
Two straps
A machine is restrained at four rated points every time. Our staff restrain it at the yard; keep it that way after any stop.
Unloading on a slope
Ramps on a grade change the angle the machine has to climb. Find level ground first.
